PREFACE. 



To suggest better plans for sclioolliouses, to prevent waste 
of money on improperly constructed houses, when properly 
constructed houses can be erected in many cases at the same 
or slightly increased cost, to make it easy and inexpensive for 
school officers to secure these better plans, I have had pre- 
pared by Messrs. Barrett & Thomson, well-known architects, 
the subjoined revised, enlarged and improved plans for one, 
two, three, four, and six-room schoolhouses. The first pam- 
phlet of plans for schoolhouses was issued in 1903. This 
pamphlet contains changes and improvements suggested by 
eight years' experience. Accompanying the plans will be 
found blank detachable contracts, full printed specifications, 
and carefully prepared bills of material for each house, to- 
gether with cuts and floor plans of the same. If larger work- 
ing plans for these buildings are desired, blueprints can be 
procured at small cost from Messrs. Barrett & Thomson, 
Raleigh, N. C. 

In this revised edition will be found also plans for dormi- 
tory buildings suitable for rural high schools and farm-life 
schools, also plans for sanitary toilets. 

These plans have been prepared in accordance with modern 
principles of ventilation, light and sanitation. Full explana- 
tions of each plan by the architects will be found in this pam- 
phlet. It will be seen that some of the plans have been so 
arranged that larger houses can be evolved from the one-room 
house if the enlargement of the district or increased popula- 
tion and attendance should later require the enlargement of 
the schoolhouse. (See under Cost, last page.) Any num- 
ber of these pamphlets can be procured, free of cost, by appli- 
cation to the State Superintendent. 

Very truly, J. Y. Joyxee..

ALL HOUSES MUST BE BUILT IN ACCORDANCE WITH PLANS 
APPROVED BY STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC IN- 
STRUCTION. 

(SCHOOL LAW, SECTION 4124.) 
SCHOOLHOUSES, BUILDING AND APPROVAL OF : CONTRACTS FOR. TllG 

building of all new sclioolhouses shall be under the control and direc- 
tion of and by contract with the County Board of Education. The 
board shall pay not exceeding one-half of the cost of the same out of 
the fund set aside for building under section four thousand one hun- 
dred and sixteen, and the school district in which any schoolhouse is 
erected shall pay the other part, and upon failure of such district to 
provide its part by private subscription or otherwise the board is 
directed to take it out of the apportionment to that district. But the 
board shall not be authorized to invest any money in any new house 
that is not built in accordance with plans approved by the State 
Superintendent of Public Instruction. All contracts for buildings 
shall be in writing and all buildings shall be inspected, received and 
approved by the County Superintendent of Public Instruction before 
full payment is made therefor. 



PLANS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLHOUSES 

WITH EXPLANATIONS, SPECIFICATIONS, BILLS OF 
MATERIAL AND ESTIMATES OF COST. 



It is not economy, but, instead, impractical and unbusiness- 
like, to build cheap, unsanitaiy sclioolliouses, in which the 
children are not surrounded by the very l:)est conditions of 
health. 

The building should be substantially and warmly built, 
with solid brick foundation, double walls and floors. With- 
out warm floors, feet are sure to be cold, and this kee|)s the 
children from studying and progressing as they should. 

For the smaller buildings brick piers may be used, and the 
space between same tightly boarded up with tongued and 
grooved flooring or ceiling. The extra cost of the materials 
required for the solid brick walls, double walls and floors, 
above the cost of piers and single walls and floors, will be 
more than oft'set by the saving in fuel and the increased com- 
fort to the pu])ils. 

All schoolrooms should be well lighted, heated, and venti- 
lated. When the room is bright and attractive and the air 
pure, the pupils are always bright and attentive, and the 
teachers can do better work. With a poorly lighted room and 
bad air, the pupils are dull, inattentive, and irritable. 

Each building should be provided with an entrance vesti- 
bule, or hall, as a protection against cold draughts in the 
schoolrooms. The schoolrooms should each have an ample 
coat-room, with a door from vestibule, or hall, and also one 
from the schoolroom, so that the teacher can have perfect con- 
trol over the room at all times. It would be hard to imagine 
a more unsanitary condition in a schoolroom than would be 
caused by the steam and gases arising from the drying of a 
lot of damp and not always cleanly outer garments. This 
should be avoided by placing all coats and wraps in the sepa- 
rate coat-rooms.

PLANS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLHOUSES. 7 

A lunch closet, with lock and key, should be provided in 
each coat-room. 

The accompanying plans have been prepared especially to 
meet the growing demand for better and more attractive 
school buildings for the country districts of the State of ISTorth 
Carolina. 

SITE FOR A SCHOOL BUILDING. 

The selection of the site for the school building has much to 
do wnth the hygienic condition of the school. 

If possible, the location should be high and dry. Marshes 
or springy land should not be used. Dampness is calculated 
to foster such diseases as diphtheria, typhoid fever, consump- 
tion, and rheumatism. Breathing a damp atmosphere will 
often cause langour and headache. 

The site should be as naturally attractive as can be found 
without going outside of the prescribed limits. 

The school building should, if possible, be located on or 
near our public highways, where the school building can be 
seen by the passers-by. When its doors are closed, and the 
voices of the children are not heard,. the building itself will 
stand as a silent sentinel for the cause of public education. 

The earth taken from the excavation for foundation should 
be graded under and around the building in such manner as 
to carry the surface water away from the walls. The size of 
the building will be governed by the present or probable needs 
of the district in which it is to be built. 

Where a one-room building will answer for present needs, 
build the one-room schoolhouse, plan I^o. 1 of the accompany- 
ing designs. When more room is required, a second room 
can be added, which will give the two-room building, plan 
Xo. 2 C. When still further enlargement is found necessary, 
a third room and tower can be added to plan ISTo. 2 C, giving 
the arrangement shown by plan and design No. 3. Where a 
more ornamental one-room building is required, build room A, 
plan No. 2, and tower. Room B can be added at any time,

giving the complete two-room building shown by plan and 
design 'No. 2, A third room can later be added, giving a 
three-room building similar in plan to ISTo. 3. Only a slight 
change in the construction will be required in making the 
additions above mentioned, and very little material lost. 

Plans and designs No. 2 A and No. 2 B show two-room 
buildings, of different arrangement and appearance, which 
should be built complete. 

Plans and designs numbered 3 A, 3 B, and 3 C give a 
choice in three-room buildings, both in arrangement and ap- 
pearance. A very attractive building has been made by 
building a gable over the front center projection, plan No. 3 
C, in place of the hipped roof shown, and using the tower 
shown with designs- Nos. 2 and 3. 

Plan and design No. 4 show a compact four-room building, 
with classrooms all on one floor. Plan and design No. 5 
show the same number of classrooms on two floors. 

Plan and design No. 6 show a two-story, six-room build- 
ing, with classrooms on two floors. 

Plan and design No. 6 A show a building with three class- 
rooms on the first floor and an auditorium and library on the 
second floor ; when additional room is required an extra class- 
room can be added on the rear, as indicated by dotted lines. 

Plans and desigTi No. 7 show a girls' dormitory for county 
high schools. The first floor, in addition to bedrooms for 
girls, contains a dining-room to accommodate the twenty occu- 
pants of the building and an equal number of boys which will 
be provided for in separate buildings ; a kitchen, a storage 
and serving room and a cooking laboratory. The second floor 
contains double and single bedrooms for girls. 

The cooking laboratory shows an arrangement of equipment 
suggested by the best authorities. The tables are placed 
around three sides of a square with an open space in the 
center for the teacher and the necessary worktable. The 
teacher's desk, range, sink, and cupboards are conveniently 
located on the outside walls of the room.

It is recommended that Domestic Science equipment espe- 
cially mannfactured for this work be provided in the same 
manner that modern school equipment would be provided in 
classrooms. 

Plans and design ]\o. 8 show a one-story two-room dormi- 
tory to accommodate four boys, two boys in each room. One 
or more buildings can be erected as the growth of the institu- 
tion may demand. 

COST OF BUILDIXG. 

The cost of the buildings illustrated will vary greatly, 
owing to the difference in the price of labor and materials in 
different sections of the State, the distance materials will have 
to be hauled, and the ability of the contractors bidding to 
handle the work economically. They will cost no more than 
poorly arranged buildings of the same -size and construction. 

In comparing contract prices with the cost of buildings 
already erected, it will be well to examine carefully the speci- 
fications and working drawings, and note the materials and 
construction called for. 

The two-story buildings will cost less than the one-story 
buildings with the same number of rooms. 

The classrooms shown are planned to use standard school 
desks of the following dimensions :

The ceilings in schoolrooms should be at least 13 feet clear 
between the ceiling and finished floor. This will give ap- 
proximately 200 cubic feet of air and 15 feet of floor space to 
each pupil. 

The light, according to the best authorities, should come 
from the rear and left side, or left side of the pupil only, 
and the glass surface should equal from one-sixth to one-fifth 
of the floor area of the room. 

The windows should be set 3 or 31,4 feet above the floor, 
and the window head should come within 12 inches of the ceil- 
ing. The schoolroom windows should have a 24-inch transom 
sash, hinged at the bottom, to swing in. In opening a tran- 
som hinged in this manner the outside air is deflected upward 
against the ceiling and distributed uniformly through the 
room, instead of striking the children in a solid stream, as 
when an ordinary window is opened. The sash below the 
transom bar should be hung with cord and weights. 

The blank walls on one or more sides of the schoolrooms 
should be fitted with slate or good comi^osition blackboards, 
with chalk trough at base. The boards should be from 3 to 
414 feet high, and set from 2 feet 1 inch to 2 feet 4 inches 
above floor for primary pupils, and 2 feet 6 inches above 
floor for intermediate jDupils. 

HEATI2v"G AND VENTILATION. 

In February, 1910, at my request,- as will appear from the 
following letter, the Secretary of the State Board of Health 
and the architects, after examination of A^arious systems of 
heating and ventilation, recommended the Waterbury system, 
which we include in this pamphlet. Under a special contract 
with the Waterman-Waterbury Company, this system of heat- 
ing can be purchased for $65. A special pamphlet contain- 
ing full description and information about this system may be 
obtained upon application to the Waterman-Waterbury Com- 
pany, Buffalo. X. Y., or Mr. C. J. Parker, Raleigh. N. C.

The following report speaks for itself : 

REPORT OF COMMITTEE. 

Raleigh, N. C, February 21, 1910. 
Hon. J. Y. JoYNER, 

State Superintendent of Public Instruction, 
Raleigh, N. C. 

Dear Sir : — At your request we have carefully ex- 
amined several systems of beating and ventilation for 
the purpose of ascertaining, as best we could, the system 
that in our opinion would be most satisfactory and best 
adapted in all respects for the public schools of this 
State, and especially for use in the schoolhouses built 
in accordance with the State plans. 

We have examined and applied the scientific tests to 
plants installed in schoolrooms by the two systems that 
we considei'ed, after investigation, the best, one of which 
was the Waterbury System, manufactured by the Water- 
man-Waterbury Company. We recommend this system 
as the best that we have been able to find for the public 
schools of this State, after careful examination into the 
merits of various systems, and after these personal ex- 
aminations and tests of the best systems in the country. 

We are satisfied that the adoption and installation of 
this system of heating and ventilation in the schools of 
the State will greatly contribute to the comfort, the 
health, the discipline, and the intellectual activity of 
the children. Very truly yours. 

W. S. Rankin, 
Secretary State Board of Health. 
Frank K. Thomson, 
Chas. W. Barrett, 
Architects for State School Plans. 

(Illustrations of this heater are found elsewhere in this book.) 
DESCRIPTION OF WATERBURY SYSTEM. 

The Waterbury System consists of a small furnace sur- 
rounded by a heat-proof casing with one flue measuring 
12 X 12 inches, inside measurement, which serves for carrying 
off both the smoke and the foul air. The casing consists of 
four layers of material. A special process electroplating steel 
is used for the outside. Deeply corrugated bright tin with 
continuous air spaces extending from top to bottom form the 
powerful heat-reflecting inner walls. The double metal walls 
with double layers of asbestos and air spaces between make 
the casing as nearly heat-proof as possible.

Plan No. :> B. 



PLANS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLKOrSES. 17 

The furnace is placed in the corner of the room out of the 
way and about 15 inches from an outside wall. A fresh-air 
duct leads directly from the hottest part of the furnace 
through the casing and through an opening in the wall of the 
building. Thus the fresh air has direct access to the hottest 
part of the furnace. 

The chimney should be built about 10 feet from the cor- 
ner in which the plant is to be placed and should have a single 
flue measuring 12 x 12 inches (inside) and extending to the 
floor. A register which is furnished with the plant should 
be placed in the face of the chimney at the floor line for carry- 
ing out the foul air. (See illustrations in this pamphlet. ) 

THE OPERATIO]!^ OF THE SYSTE:M. 

When a fire is started in the furnace the air within the 
casing becomes heated, and as it is much lighter than the other 
air in the room, it rises to the ceiling and spreads out over 
the entire room. 

To replace the air that has just arisen from the casing, a 
large volume of fresh air rushes in through the large pipe 
leading from outdoors into the casing. This air is deflected 
upward and around furnace by means of a patented intake. 

As the casing is practically heat-proof, the air within it is 
very quickly and thoroughly heated, and the foregoing process 
continues. As the air at the ceiling gradually cools it settles 
toward the floor, carrying the foul air with it. The foul air 
is drawn otf through the ventilating register into the chimney, 
where the patented chimney attachment prevents its acting as 
a check on the furnace draft. 

The remainder of the cold air is drawn up into casing, 
heated and recirculated. The warmer fresh air from above 
settles down to take its place. This process continues, as long 
as the fire is kept in the furnace. 

As a result of this action a uniform temperature is main- 
tained in all parts of the room, and the floors are kept warm.

ARCHITECTS & C/TaiA(EiCR.» 



Plan No. 3 A. 



PLANS FOE PUBLIC SCHOOLHOUSES. 19 

All pupils in the room, whether near or far from the furnace, 
receive the same amount of heat. 

A constant supply of fresh air from out of doors is pro- 
vided for both teacher and pupils, and the foul air is expelled 
from the room without any draughts. The air in an ordinary 
schoolroom is changed about once in every ten minutes. 

The plant, being placed in a corner of the room, does not 
take up floor space that could be used for seats, and pupils 
can be seated within a few feet of it without discomfort. 

By means of the circulation established the heat usually 
wasted in overheating the room near the ceiling and in imme- 
diate vicinity of stove is saved by bringing it in contact with 
colder corners and the floor, thus warming every part. 

The apparatus complete is furnished as illustrated, includ- 
ing foul-air register, fresh-air intake and duct, chimney at- 
tachment, 10 feet of high-grade smoke pipe. All parts are 
made of high-grade material, and with ordinary care should 
last a "lifetime." 

MATERIAL^ DRAWINGS^, ETC. 

Following will be found a specification, with bill of ma- 
terial, for each building. 

Complete working drawings, consisting of foundation plan, 
plan of each floor and roof, and four elevations, all drawn to 
one-quarter-inch scale, with full size and large scale detail 
drawings fully illustrating the work to be done, can be had 
by addressing the architects, Barrett & Thomson, Raleigh. 
KC. 

With the above-mentioned complete drawings, low bids can 
be secured from local contractors and the buildings erected 
without chance of mistakes and misunderstandings. 

SPECIFICATIONS. 

These specifications are intended to embrace all materials 
and labor necessary for the construction and completion.

16 PLANS FOK PUBLIC SCHOOLHOUSES. 

THE SAXITxVRY PEIVY. 

All j)lans for new schoolhouses must include plans for san- 
itary privies, as contained in this pamphlet and the construc- 
tion of these be included in the building contract before 
approval by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, 
u.nder section 4124 of the Public School Lav7. 

The following is taken from the Staie Board of Health 
Bulletin as the highest authority upon this subject: 

The requirements of a proper privy are, first, as the name sug- 
gests, that it should insure privacy and comfort to those who use it ; 
second, tliat it should prevent pollution of the soil ; third, that it 
should prevent the possibility of flies, insects, chicliens, dogs, or other 
animals conveying infection to human beings. 

The first requirement is essential to health. If it is disagreeable 
or distasteful in any way, many people are prevented from using the 
privy as regularly and frequently as they should do, and their health 
suffers. 

The second requirement is necessary ; for, if the contents of the 
privy are disposed of in such a way as to come in contact with the 
person of human beings, either by their treading on them or touch- 
ing them with other parts of the body, disease is likely to be spread. 
Careless disposal of the excreta also contaminates strawberries, let- 
tuce, celery, radishes and other vegetables eaten raw ; and may also 
contaminate the hands of those who prepare other vegetables for the 
table, and thus convey disease. Of course, when the excreta are 
allowed to get to the water supply, they also contaminate the water 
for drinking purposes ; and this is an extensive means of spreading 
typhoid fever especially. 

The third requirement is the most important, and the one less fre- 
quently guarded against. Animals will spread the excreta around 
where they would not otherwise come in contact with the person of 
human beings, and flies always make a practice of flying from nny 
sort of filth out of doors between meals to the kitchen and table at 
meal times of houses which are not carefully screened. 

THE NECESSARY POINTS IN CONSTRUCTING AND USING PRIVIES. 

First. The privy should not be ofEensive. If it is, it will be placed 
at a long distance from the house. 

Second. The creation of some other more pleasant or harmless odor 
has no effect whatever in destroying the disease-producing qualities 
of the contents of the privy. 



PLAXS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLHOUSES. 77 

Third. L'luler ordlitanj circninstaiK-cs it is utterly impossible to 
disinfect the excreta tlioroughly.* The disinfectant penetrates but a 
slight distance into the solid matter. Lime does not prevent infection. 
The flies that gave our soldiers typhoid fever at Chickamauga showed 
on their feet lime that had been used for disinfecting, but they 
brought, at the same time, the disease germs that proved so fatal. 

Fourth. The contents of the privy should he screened absolutely 
from all possible contact with flies, or other living creatures which 
might carry the disease. 

Fifth. The privy box, or space used for excreta, should be venti- 
lated. 

Sixth. The privy itself should be tiy-proof and ventilated. 

Seventh. The privy should be so arranged that one would have to 
go as short a distance as possible from the house and would not be 
unnecessarily exposed to observation. 

Eighth. The privy should be easy to clean and. if possible, its man- 
agement should be largely in the power of any member of the house- 
hold. 

THE NORTH CAROLINA STANDARD PRIVY. 

Under the direction of the Secretary of the State Board of Health, 
plans and specifications are being published herewith for the con- 
struction of a proper sanitary privy, embodying the points necessary 
to satisfy the above requirements. Every one is advised to have a 
privy of this sort. There is no excuse for not using this plan when 
building a new privy. All who can afford to do so should build a 
privy of this kind in the place of any unsatisfactory privy now ex- 
isting. 



* Where the requirements of complete disinfection are serious, as cholera or 
typhoid, it is possible to accomplish this end under the direction of the physician. 
A considerable amount of disinfecting fluid must then be used, and sufficient time 
allowed to insure complete disintegration of solid matter. This necessitates a bad 
odor to be endured for the whole of this time.
